Pit Test Basics and How to Survive in Avalanche Terrain

How do you perform a basic avalanche pit test? How do we survive in some of the most dangerous conditions in the backcountry? Hope this video helps!

If you want to find you local Avalanche forecast check out this site: avalanche.org

This video goes over how to check your local avalanche forecast, the basics for creating and reading a avalanche pit (ECT), and what precausions we can take when skiing to avoid unnecessary risk

And if you plan on heading out into the backcountry for the first time we strongly recommend taking an in person course from someone who knows what they are doing. We are not certified to teach backcountry safety.
